2. Our Sponsors
If you think, that a SQL Saturday is a nice possibility to learn from and network with fellow SQL Server enthusiasts FOR FREE,
I just ask you one thing: Visit the sponsor booths and chat with the sponsors!
They are covering the expenses for each and every of you, with is around EUR 60 …

3. Agenda Quickstart Supported Platforms & Features
Platform Abstraction Layer
Performance
SQL Server on Linux HA
SQL Server on Linux & Docker

4. Quickstart Requirements How?
docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=<YourStrong!Passw0rd>' -p 1433:1433 -d microsoft/mssql-server-linux
Requirements
Same high quality & security standards
Same value in terms of functionality and scale
Application compatibility between SQL Server on Windows and Linux
Features and fixes need to appear immediately across platforms
Lay a foundation for future SQL Server suite services (SSIS)
How?
Same high quality code across OSes
Enabled through Platform Abstraction Layer (PAL)

5. Supported Platforms & Features
Ubuntu 16.10, Ubuntu LTS and earlier
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Workstation, Server, and Desktop and earlier
Docker Engine 1.8 and later
Features
Core Database Engine
Including CLR, In-Memory OLTP, Columnstore Index, Query Store, DMV
Tooling
Administration: SSMS, mssql-conf, Powershell
Development: SSMS, Visual Studio Code, SSDT, Connectivity libraries (C#, Java, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, C++)

6. Unsupported Features (CTP 1.1)

7. Platform Abstraction Layer
Goal
Remove or abstract away SQL Server’s dependencies on Windows
Dependencies
“Win32” (ex. user32.dll)
NT Kernel (ntdll.dll)
Windows application libraries (such as MSXML, MS DTC, )
SQL Server Operating Systems (SOS)
Resource management
Improved performance
Supportability
Not a full abstraction layer
Drawbridge
Microsoft Research Project
reducing the virtualization resource when hosting many VMs on the same hardware
user mode Library OS (LibOS)
1500+ Windows ABIs in user mode
SOSv2
SOS and LibOS merged
81 MB of uncompressed Windows libraries, SQL PAL itself ~8MB

* my personal (not official Microsoft) query test results, selected queries against StackOverflow dataset; Azure VMs, Standard D3, Windows Server 2012 R2, Ubuntu 15.10; not supposed to be an extended benchmark, rather quick tests to grasp a first impression on performance

9. SQL Server on Linux HA Failover Cluster Instance on RHEL 7.3
based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) HA add-on
Uses Corosync and Pacemaker
Currently only high-level functional testing, not a production setup
